Agile Masterclass: Agile for Project Management - Waterfall Versus Agile

This lecture explores the differences between agile and traditional waterfall project management styles. Waterfall is a rigid, phase-based approach, while agile is flexible and iterative, allowing for regular feedback and adaptation. Agile's iterative process helps teams address issues quickly and adapt to changes, whereas waterfall requires completing one phase before moving to the next. The lecture also provides guidance on when to use each methodology, suggesting waterfall for fixed, predictable projects and agile for projects with evolving requirements. Agile's iterative approach promotes continuous improvement and early success.

Explain how agile accommodates changes during a project compared to waterfall.
